    This video seems so much simpler than what my Graphic Design instructor tries to get at. I've got much a clearer picture about the basics through this than the countless projects done in class.

      I still feel like schools for Graphic Design learners are a HUGE ripoff. On top of being so expensive, you can get professors that either doesn't put their effort in teaching or makes things so complicated. Better off doing research on it instead.

    Hi - I've studied and taught typography for years as part of IT programmes. And I have to say that his video is a little gem - you've captured all the basics of the subject, and more, in a nutshell with very engaging graphics. Well done - and thank you very much!

      This is called motion graphics, find tutorials on that, and practice. This style of motion graphics is very common nowadays, so you'll most likely bump into tutorials on that.

    Every element of these videos are so well done! As a designer, this makes me want to share this with the people I work closely with that don't have the designer role, so they can get a better understanding of the work I do, the attention to detail I give, and why it all matters. Great work, and thank you!

    • @picklepirate
      @picklepirate 6 лет назад +15

      yes !! I've been updating layouts for non designers looking to improve their work, however they are all reluctant to change. I would love to share these videos to help explain how a design overhaul can greatly improve their work. One client insisted I stick with the Papyrus font and was not sure why I was so against his love for the font.

    I have been aggressively binge-watching your videos just now! I just watched The Basics of Design, Color and Typography and I'm SYKED.
    You explain the basics and certainly fill up pretty important holes in my knowledge in them and make me more aware of what I've been already doing by intuition. Now I'll know how to approach a problem or intently make a design more interesting when I have no specific idea!
    I've decided to try blogging and some other projects for which I'll need to up my game in graphic design and illustration. I've just found the perfect starter pack, basics that _expand_ to teach us useful concepts and practical tipps!
    Thank you!

    I'm currently training as a visual story artist, so I normally utilize lighting, colors, shape language, and perspective to create concepts, designs, and storyboards. I find it so interesting that typography exists as an art form dedicated to texts and lines that utilize color and shape language (lots of overlapping fundamentals) to create an emotional response from people. It's awesome to see how the fundamentals of color and design are used in a completely different way that it makes me feel like a total beginner again! Gotta love art! 😁
